Ranked roundup · Gong
Best MCP Server for Gong
Gong is one of the few revenue tools that ships an official MCP server for Gong data — announced 21 October 2025, hosted by Gong itself, and authorized over OAuth so Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot can only see what the signed-in user's Gong seat allows. The catch: it exposes exactly three read-only tools (ask_account, ask_deal, generate_brief), so it answers questions about deals but never hands you a raw transcript. The community fills that gap. Two open-source servers wrap Gong's REST API directly with your admin-issued API key — one with 15 read-only tools covering calls, transcripts, trackers, and users; one minimal two-tool option — and managed platforms like Composio and Pipedream host Gong toolkits so nothing runs on your machine. Five real options made this list. Rankings come from what we could verify on 1 September 2026 — official status, last-push dates, GitHub stars, auth model, and documented tool coverage — not paid placement, and not invented test scores.

The ranking
- Official · Gong
Teams that want vendor-supported, permission-aware deal and account Q&A inside Claude without handling raw API keys.
Three read-only tools: ask_account (natural-language Q&A on one account), ask_deal (same for one deal), and generate_brief (structured account/deal brief with themes, stakeholders, risks, next steps). Works with Claude, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot. Available on any Gong plan per Gong's docs.
Hosted by Gong. A Gong Technical Administrator creates an MCP integration under Company Settings > Ecosystem > API > Integrations, which issues the server URL and OAuth credentials; Claude connects as a custom remote connector (via mcp-remote or native remote MCP support). · OAuth 2.0. Gong recommends the Personal Access type, so each user authorizes with their own Gong login and the AI inherits only that user's data permissions — no shared API key involved.
- Only three high-level AI tools — no raw transcript, call-listing, or user endpoints, so it can't feed bulk call analysis
- Setup requires a Gong Technical Administrator to create the MCP integration; end users can't self-serve
- On Claude, custom remote connectors require a Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan
- Read-only by design — no write actions
- Young surface: announced October 2025, and early third-party setup guides describe org-level enablement, so availability may vary by tenant
- Community
Anyone who needs actual call and transcript data in Claude — the widest open-source coverage of Gong's REST API that we verified, and the most recently maintained.
15 read-only tools per the README: list/search calls (participant, customer, tracker, duration, CRM opportunity filters), full speaker-attributed transcripts, AI call summaries, free-text transcript search, keyword trackers, workspaces, library folders, and user lookup. Built-in output guardrails auto-compact results that would blow past a configurable 50,000-character cap.
Self-hosted local process — runs via npx gongio-mcp (npm package), global npm install, from source, or Docker. Node.js 18+. · Gong API Access Key and Secret passed as environment variables (Gong's HTTP Basic auth). Only a Gong tech admin can generate the key, and it carries company-wide data access — no per-user scoping. · MIT · 21★
- Unofficial — not built or supported by Gong
- The admin API key sees everything the company's API sees; every user of this server inherits that access
- Bound by Gong's default API rate limits (3 calls/second, 10,000 calls/day per company), which bulk transcript pulls can hit
- Solo-maintainer project with 21 stars — small bus factor
- Read-only; no write tools
- Community
Teams that want broad Gong coverage across multiple AI clients with zero hosting, and centralized credential management.
57 tools per Composio's catalog: calls and transcripts, users, keyword trackers, activity stats, scorecards, digital interactions, and meeting create/update/delete — the only option on this list with documented write actions.
Fully managed hosted MCP — Composio runs the server and connects to Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and ChatGPT. Nothing to install or host. · Your Gong API Access Key and Secret (Basic auth) stored with Composio, which manages credential storage and rotation centrally. Same admin-issued, company-wide key as the open-source servers — the difference is who holds it.
- A third party holds your Gong credentials — evaluate that against your security policy before connecting company-wide call data
- Free tier to start, paid beyond it; pricing changes are Composio's to make
- Tool schemas are generated on Composio's platform, not a repo you can pin or audit commit-by-commit
- Includes write actions (meetings), so scope your usage deliberately
- Still subject to Gong's API rate limits underneath
- Community
The minimal case — pull a call list and a transcript into Claude with the least code to read.
Two tools: list calls with date-range filtering, and retrieve the transcript for a specific call. That's the whole surface.
Self-hosted local process — Node.js build or Docker container wired into Claude Desktop's MCP config. · Gong API Access Key and Secret as environment variables (Basic auth). Admin-issued, company-wide access, same as every key-based option. · MIT · 39★
- Unofficial and deliberately minimal: two tools, no search, summaries, trackers, or user data
- Most-starred community option (39) but last pushed July 2026 — slower maintenance than gongio-mcp
- Admin API key carries company-wide access
- No paginated-output guardrails documented; long transcripts land raw in context
- Community
Teams already running Pipedream workflows who want Gong in the same credential and billing envelope.
Gong actions from Pipedream's integration platform exposed as MCP tools. The exact tool list isn't published on the server page — it loads dynamically — so we can't state coverage numbers we didn't see.
Hosted by Pipedream at a static URL (mcp.pipedream.net/v2) that works across MCP clients; no local process. · Connected-account model — you authenticate your Gong account when adding the server, and Pipedream stores the credentials.
- Tool coverage is not verifiable from the public page — we could not confirm a tool count or capability list
- Third party holds your Gong credentials
- Usage is tied to Pipedream's platform pricing
- Unofficial — not built or supported by Gong

How to choose
Pick Gong's official server if vendor support and per-user permissions matter more than raw data — it's the only option where Claude cannot see beyond the logged-in user's seat. Pick gongio-mcp if you need the raw material: transcripts, call search, trackers, and AI summaries across thousands of calls, and you accept an admin API key with company-wide reach. Pick Composio if you want the widest tool surface (57 tools, including some writes) with zero hosting, and you're comfortable parking Gong credentials with a third party. Pick kenazk/gong-mcp only for the simplest list-calls-and-pull-transcript job. Pipedream mainly makes sense if you already run workflows there.
How this ranking works
Every server here is real and was checked against its repository or vendor documentation on the date above — stars and licenses come from the GitHub API, not from memory. Order reflects verifiable criteria only: official support, maintenance recency, adoption, auth model, and documented capability coverage. We do not run paid placements, and we list every caveat we find, including the unflattering ones.
Common questions
- Does Gong have an official MCP server?
- Yes. Gong announced MCP support on 21 October 2025 and hosts its own server, documented at help.gong.io. It exposes three read-only tools — ask_account, ask_deal, and generate_brief — and works with Claude, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot on any Gong plan.
- What does setup and auth actually look like?
- Two models exist. The official server uses OAuth: a Gong Technical Administrator creates an MCP integration in Company Settings, and each user then authorizes with their own login, inheriting only their own permissions. Every community and managed option instead uses a Gong API Access Key and Secret — which only a tech admin can generate, and which carries company-wide data access with no per-user scoping.
- Can any of these write to Gong?
- The official server and both open-source servers we verified are read-only. Composio's catalog is the exception, listing meeting create, update, and delete actions among its 57 tools.
- Will I hit rate limits pulling transcripts?
- Possibly. Gong's API defaults to 3 calls per second and 10,000 calls per day per company, returning HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header when exceeded. Bulk transcript pulls through key-based servers count against that shared company quota; higher limits require contacting Gong support.
